When dealing with abrasive, thick, or solid-laden fluids, a standard pump simply won’t cut it. That’s where a progressive cavity pump slurry setup comes in. Built to withstand wear and tear, these positive displacement pumps are ideal for moving high-viscosity or particulate-heavy fluids—safely, reliably, and without clogging.

At MultiTorque, we specialise in the supply, service, and repair of progressive cavity pumps that are specifically designed to handle slurry transfer applications across mining, wastewater, food processing, and chemical industries.

Why Use a Progressive Cavity Pump for Slurry?

Slurry—defined as a mixture of solid particles suspended in a liquid—poses unique challenges. It’s abrasive, heavy, and tends to destroy conventional pumping systems. The progressive cavity pump (or PC pump) overcomes this with a smart design:

• Single-rotor/stator mechanism creates sealed cavities

• Low shear pumping preserves product integrity

• Constant, pulse-free flow even at low speeds

• Minimal turbulence, ideal for abrasive and viscous materials

This makes progressive cavity pump slurry systems the go-to solution when handling grit-laden wastewater, drilling muds, mineral sludges, or thick food waste.

Common Slurry Applications

MultiTorque supplies PC pumps suited for slurry handling in industries such as:

• Mining & minerals – Tailings, dewatering, and ore slurries

• Oil & gas – Drilling muds, fracturing fluids, and emulsions

• Wastewater – Grit sludge, biosolids, and chemical sludge

• Food & beverage – Fruit pulps, tomato pastes, and grain mash

• Agriculture – Manure slurries, animal waste, and digestate

With high solids handling capacity and reliable performance, our pumps keep things moving—no matter how thick the material.

Why Progressive Cavity Pumps Beat Centrifugal in Slurry Work

Centrifugal pumps often fail in slurry service due to high internal velocities, which increase wear and reduce efficiency. In contrast, progressive cavity pumps operate at low speeds, reducing friction and allowing solids to pass through with minimal degradation.

This results in:

• Longer service life

• Fewer blockages

• Reduced maintenance costs

• More predictable performance under varying flow conditions

Whether you’re dosing sludge in a treatment plant or pumping mineral slurries on-site, PC pumps are engineered for tough conditions.

MultiTorque: The PC Pump Experts

At MultiTorque, we’ve been working with progressive cavity pumps for over 15 years. We supply pumps and spare parts for leading brands like Netzsch, Mono, Orbit, and Seepex, and can customise slurry systems for high-solids environments.

Our team provides:

• On-site inspections and servicing

• Rotor/stator replacement

• Pump rebuilds and overhauls

• Custom skid fabrication

• Australia-wide support and delivery

We know slurry kills weak pumps—that’s why we only recommend systems proven to perform under pressure.

Key Features of Our Slurry PC Pumps

• Abrasion-resistant stators and rotors

• Optional hard-coating for high-wear environments

• Variable speed options for optimal flow control

• Modular design for easy maintenance

• Available in stainless steel or cast iron configurations

We also supply mechanical seals, gearboxes, and control panels to integrate your progressive cavity pump into a complete system.
